I awakened this morning to learn that the effort to allow concealed carry in restaurants serving alcohol in Virginia (so long as the carrier did not drink) had been killed by a special sub-committee set up by Democrats to create just such an obstacle. An hour ago I learned that this same body killed the repeal of "one-gun-per-month" restrictions.
For our bretheren and sisteren in other states, let me point out that technically there is no such thing as a "bar" or "saloon" in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Any establishment serving on-premises alcohol MUST have commensurate food sales totalling 51% or more of gross revenue to keep a license to serve alcoholic beverages. Yet a liquor license is a major source of revenue, and most of the better places to enjoy a decent meal also offer alcoholic beverages.
Yet, the media keep referring to attempts to "allow guns in bars" in Virginia.
But openly carried firearms are legit in Virginia liquor-licensed establishments, and (if management will allow) one can even have a beer or a cocktail while carrying an openly displayed firearm.
Oddly enough, I did not even know of the existence of this special sub-committee until after they had struck. Even odder, I don't remember ever reading about it here.
Copperheads.
How did this happen in Virginia??
